Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2022, tomato production in ASEAN increased from 1 521 thousand tons to 1 717 thousand tons, while market volume expanded from 1 496 thousand tons to 1 745 thousand tons. This growth was primarily driven by the expansion of intensive tomato cultivation across the Asia-Pacific region and the adoption of high-yield hybrid seeds. Investments in advanced agricultural techniques, such as indoor farming, bolstered domestic output, while rising consumer awareness of nutritional benefits fueled consumption. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted supply chains but also accelerated demand for processed tomato products like sauces and pastes, supporting market volume.

Production stabilized at 1 692 thousand tons in 2023, with market volume dipping to 1 703 thousand tons. This correction coincided with the implementation of stricter quality and food safety regulations, as well as the consolidation of premium segments such as vine and cherry tomatoes. Strategic alliances between local producers and exporters aimed to ensure year-round supply. In 2024, imports surged to 104 thousand tons, reflecting ongoing trends toward value-added fresh products and the influence of global energy and transport cost fluctuations on production economics.
